Opgal EyeSec fire detection

Opgal’s EyeSec line of thermal cameras is the first camera system that can provide both safety and security. Available with high performance thermal cameras and a wide variety of lens options, the EyeSec Fire Detection solution brings value to customers in areas of high risk of fire. Facilities with flammable materials, transportation tunnels, combustible storage areas, and perimeter sites located near flammable forest and bush are all sensitive to fire danger, requiring this unique fire detection solution.

The EyeSec camera’s flame detection analytics provides a reliable response to a major safety risk by enabling users to continuously monitor vast areas looking for fires. The camera can detect a 75 cm x 75 cm fire as far away as 840 metres within 5 seconds, with detection ranges increasing for larger-sized fires up to 6 m x 6 m and distances up to 6,5 km, day or night. Once fires are identified, the camera uses multiple alarm mechanisms, including the transmission of fire’s X and Y position, to communicate the risk. It brings false alarms to a minimum by using sophisticated algorithms scrutinising each hotspot in the observed area to ascertain whether they are flames or just simple temperature changes.

Integrating fire detection and fire risk assessment on board an EyeSec security camera provides a unique and attractive safety and security solution. Acting as a security camera looking for intruders and other risks, the camera is also watching for fires or related occurrences. Customers benefit from two tasks in a single solution which they can use in combination with any other video analytics system.
